The Pirates (7-3) left 11 men on base, showing that they didn’t cash in on scoring opportunities. Also, the Pirates shot themselves in the foot when they were in the field, totaling four errors.
ECU allowed the first batter of the game on base via an error by Charlie Yorgen. That led to a domino effect of things going wrong. The next batter singled, putting a man on first and second. The third hitter then singled, giving Tennessee its first run with a man still on first and second with no outs. Too add to its problems starting pitcher Jacob Wolfe hit a batter, loading the bases with no outs.
